Kua 17 tau a Ngāti Ruanui e tohe atu ana ki ngā kamupene maina nō tāwahi, ā, kua hoki anō rātou ki te tohe i te tohe nui, mō te oranga tonutanga o te takutai, te take. I whai oranga te iwi ō Ngāti Ruanui, i ngā hua nui o te moana. Otirā, kua tata pau te 700 tau, ko taua oranga tonutanga tēnā kei te kara-mata o tēnei whawhai nui, i tēnei iwi ō Taranaki e whawhai tonu nei i te whawhai. After a 17-year-long battle with international mining corporations, Ngāti Ruanui are back fighting for the livelihood of their south Taranaki seabed. The ocean played a huge part in the survival of the Ngāti Ruanui people. Almost 700 years later the south Taranaki tribe are fighting to ensure that survival continues.
